There are many reasons why heels crack, some very trivial, others due to specific health conditions.
The use of open-toed shoes such as sandals and flip-flops, which exposes the feet to air and dust, is one of the most common causes, as well as excessive contact with water and poor hygiene, but overweight and obesity, vitamin deficiencies, diabetes and hypothyroidism can also contribute to this problem.
